Money blogger Kathryn Leech often shares her top saving tips and tricks on TikTok, where she has more than 28,000 followers.

Kathryn willingly accepted the challenge: “Is it possible to live on only a £1 a day food budget by shopping at Tesco?”

She shared the video to her page @everylittlepenny, talking through her meal plans for the day.

After a quick breakfast of tinned peaches, the budget-aware shopper whipped up a quick meal of pasta with veggies.

I tested 7 supermarket all-day breakfast sarnies, the best was a bargain
I got a huge food haul on a tiny budget including loads of 10p buys…here’s how

She said: “I’m not going to pretend it’s anything revolutionary. It’s an incredibly basic meal.

“But I’ve made enough that it is going to last me for lunch and dinner.”

Kathryn did cheat a little, though, adding: “The one thing I am going to allow myself is seasoning, I’m just going to use salt and pepper, probably something else – literally whatever is in my cupboard.”

She dubbed the challenge “a success,” encouraging her viewers to adopt her tried-and-tested budget hacks.

Fans were impressed, with one commenting: “Smashed it.”

This is not Kathryn’s first savings video either.

The self-proclaimed money saver took to social media to share her price comparison of different UK supermarkets.

She even spoke about some handy tips for saving money on car insurance.

It comes as the cost of living crisis rages on, with many concerned over rising food prices.

Brits have shared their tips to help out.
